BOSTON SCHOOL ATLAS.

BOSTON SCHOOL ATLAS. Embracing a Compendium of Geography. Containing seventeen Maps and Charts. Embellished with instructive Engravings. Twelfth edition, handsomely printed, from new plates. One volume, quarto.

The Maps are all beautifully engraved and painted; and that of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, contains the boundaries of every town in those states.

Although this book was designed for the younger classes in schools, for which it is admirably calculated, yet its maps are so complete, its questions so full, and its summary of the science so happily executed, that, in the opinion of many, it contains all that is necessary for the pupil in our common schools.

From the Preface to the Sixth Edition.

The universal approbation and extensive patronage bestowed upon the former editions of the Boston School Atlas, has induced the publishers to present this edition with numerous improvements. The maps of the World, North America, United States, Europe, England, and Asia, have been more perfectly drawn, and re-engraved on steel; and the maps of Maine, of New Hampshire and Vermont, and of the Western States, also, on steel, have been added; and some improvements have been made in the elemental part.

It has been an object, in the revision of this edition, to keep the work, as much as possible, free from subjects liable to changes, and to make it a permanent Geography, which may hereafter continue to be used in classes without the inconvenience of essential variations in different editions.

From R. G. Parker, author of "Progressive Exercises in English Composition," and other popular works.

I have examined a copy of the Boston School Atlas, and have no hesitation in recommending it as the best introduction to the study of Geography that I have seen. The compiler has displayed much judgment in what he has omitted, as well as what he has selected; and has thereby presented to the. public a neat manual of the elements of the science, unencumbered with useless matter and uninteresting detail. The mechanical execution of the work is neat and creditable, and I doubt not that its merits will shortly introduce it to general use. Respectfully yours,

R. G. PARKER.

From E. Bailey, Principal of the Young Ladies' School, Boston.

I was so well pleased with the plan and execution of the Boston School Atlas, that I introduced it into my school, soon after the first edition was published. I regard it as the best work for beginners in the study of Geography which has yet fallen under my observation; as such I would recommend it to the notice of parents and teachers.

From the Principal of one of the High Schools in Portland.

I have examined the Boston School Atlas, Elements of Geography, &c., and think it admirably adapted to beginners in the study of the several subjects treated on. It is what is wanted in all books for learners-simple, philosophi-. cal, and practical. I hope it will be used extensively.

Yours, respectfully,

JAS. FURBISH.

I have perused your Boston School Atlas with much satisfaction. It seems to me to be what has been needed as an introduction to the study of Geogra phy, and admirably adapted to that purpose.

Very respectfully, yours, &c. B. D. EMERSON.

GREENLEAF'S NATIONAL ARITHMETIC.

I have examined, with considerable care and entire satisfaction, the System of Arithmetic by B. Greenleaf. I can say, without hesitation, I think it the most complete and well-arranged School System, in this branch of science, extant, and better calculated than any other to prepare our youth for active usefulness in all those pursuits where a knowledge of Arithmetic is requisite. I might speak of the happy combination of the Analytic and Synthetic methods of operation, and the still happier union of clearness with brevity in all the Rules and Definitions; but all this will be seen and pleasingly felt by those who peruse or study this truly valuable book. I shall do what I may, in my limited sphere of influence, to promote its introduction into the Schools of our State. Albany, Dec. 1838. S. STEELE, Teacher.

I have examined Greenleaf's National Arithmetic, and am of opinion, from its practical character and the order of the arrangement, that it is well calculated to induct the inquiring pupil into the useful business operations of the community, for which the study of Arithmetic is designed. I shall not hesitate to recommend it to my own pupils and to the teachers of other Schools. EDWARD SMALL,

Teacher of the Lancaster School, Albany.

Albany, Dec. 1, 1838. Mr. Greenleaf. Sir: I have examined your National Arithmetic and am glad to say, it meets my approbation; and I think I shall introduce it into my School, to the exclusion of all others. A. P. SMITH, Albany, Nov. 28, 1838. Teacher of the Second Public School, Albany. Mr. Greenleaf. Dear Sir: I have examined your System of Arithmetic, and am happy to state, that it meets with my unqualified approbation, and that I shall immediately introduce it into my School. Yours, respectfully, Albany, Nov. 27, 1838.

We fully concur in the above.

B. Greenleaf, Esq. Dear Sir: I have just been examining your new Arithmetic, and think it an excellent work. I like the plan of it much. Among its many excellences I perceive the following, viz. - The Tables of Money, Weights, and Measures carried out to the lowest denomination; the great variety of examples under each Rule, and likewise your method of treating several parts of the science, as Fractions, Proportion, Evolution, and Exchange,- every thing concerning them must appear clear, I think, to the student. The Geometry, Philosophical Problems, Mechanical Powers, and Book-keeping, seem also to be handled in a perspicuous manner. The Rules of Cross Multiplication and Position, I am happy to see have place in the work; for, after all, they are too useful, the latter especially, to be omitted in our arithmetical treatises. On the whole, the work appears to me well calculated to lead youth to a clear and thorough knowledge of the various branches of this Science, and I doubt not it will be sought after, as an improvement on former works of the kind, and obtain an extensive circulation. Yours, respectfully, CHARLES Fox.

A thorough examination of Mr. Greenleaf's Arithmetic has induced me to introduce it into the Academy with which I am connected. The arrangement is excellent, and much valuable matter is found in the National Arithmetic, not contained in others now in use. Very respectfully, yours, 7
